We’re a big fan of all sorts of projects, but renovations have a special place in our heart. To be a part of seeing a transformation of a building being brought back to life, and helping to improve facilities that has a positive impact for all, is always something our team enjoy to do.
.
Our latest project is for the Crown Point Depot in Norwich, which opened in 1982 - one of the country’s main railway depots! Since early this year, a £40m renovation project has been taking place, for anticipation of the arrival of a new fleet of trains, which will be longer than the current fleet that the depot serves.
.
One of the key features of these new trains is that most of their engine components are on the rooftop to allow the floor of the train to be lowered, improving passenger access onto the train. The depot will therefore require higher walkways to provide engineers with easy access for maintenance and repairs. Other updates will include a new washing facility, better servicing equipment and larger fuel storage.
.
This is where our structural and secondary steelwork team came in, modelling and producing the fabrication drawings for a 250-metre-long walkway platform for the maintenance facility, as well as a staircase providing access and fence enclosures.
